The Heptones - I Need A Fat Girl (Fattie Fattie) Fatty Fatty

[SKableable]

RIP Barry Llewellyn x 4 people are either tone deaf, obese or their man got a cricket bail not no middle stump !

[futuresoulmusic]

and it wasnt incredible. just kinda funny. some heavy mid age woman in the neighborhood that leroy knew was walking by a window and his thought was that any self respecting jamaican man could do much worse for himself than a woman like that. or something along those lines. I remember getting a laugh out of how he explained it.

[futuresoulmusic]

I read it in a book called Bass Culture by Lloyd Bradley. Was simply a paragraph in a chapter about rocksteady. excellent book. one of those where I was getting bummed as I neared the end...

[souldimension]

Song is dope but I don't like fat chicks.

[zenvoodoodoc]

This is the shit! Real classic Jamaican music.

[canute777]

Big up di fat girl dem!! Fat girls are great lovers!!!

[TheMichellepop]

[AzucaNegra16]

[donk1ng]

What strickly the best volume was this on???

[Jamdown187]

@donk1ng Vol. 4

[antiguazfinest1]

when was this song released?

[futuresoulmusic]

the transition from rocksteady to reggae is in my opinion the most wonderful period of popular music. the musicianship, creativity, and tunes created in that time were simply amazing. and this tune is one of my very favs.

as a side note, look up leroy sibbles' conversation on his inspiration for writing this song.

[SteppingRasoir]

@futuresoulmusic where is this conversation man? I remember reading an article about this song but there was nothing "incredible" about the writing of this song

[chloebu90]

I was born in 1990..but i enjoy listening to old school reggae like this. this is real reggae...CLASSIC!! I'm so proud of being Jamaican. Big up from New York!!



[djdabblin]

#TGIFSolider she got a #FridayFatty

[DJPowerVersion]

This is a slightly different ver. of the Original, recorded and produced by Coxsone Dodd in 1966, musical arrangement by Jackie Mittoo and the backing band were The Soul Brothers. Fantastic sound of the Rude Boy era and by the way, I like fat girls, too!

[daroyalgeneral]

Question who is the lead singer on this one,is this Heptones without Leroy because he left the group back then, does not sound like Leroy to me or maybe he was young back then.

[ipings]

Great song! What some people miss is the reason for looking for a fat girl:

"I'm in the mood. I need some food"

That's it! :-)

[Tampinu]

Fatness is better than the size-zero so called models...

[test08151337]

[palmrockbermuda]

Respect

[MrComanche29]

Yo me and my boy was chillin listen to some old records and this song came on we must of played it until day light LOL just think about all the sexy ladies we did LOL .....

[kaptenmax]

what album is this from? this is not the original version right? LOVE IT !

[ipings]

That was the original. First it was a single in 66. Then on an album in both 67 and 76.

[benniebenbenny]

One of the differences between today's and yesterday's music:

Note that "Fattie Fattie" does not contain the "F" or "P" word. All nice and reggae jam with a hint of rudeness, true finesse. Immortal lyrics from a great song.

[Juicextractor1]

Ass rules!!!

[undermislengteng]

this song was banned down a yard when it came out. if they could hear then what fuckery they call reggae now , this tune would have been played pon radio all day long. WAAN BACK THE REAL TING !!!!!
